Description Norwegian

Development

Goliat was discovered in 2000 and is located about 50 kilometres southeast of the Snøhvit field in the Barents Sea. The water depth in the area is 360 – 420 metres. Goliat will be developed with eight subsea templates with a total of 32 well slots. The templates will be tied to a circular, fixed floating production facility with an integrated storage and loading system.

Reservoir

The Goliat reservoirs contain oil and thin gas caps in Triassic sandstones of the Kapp Toscana Group (Realgrunnen subgroup) and the Kobbe Formation. The reservoirs lie at a depth of 1 100 – 1 800 metres in a complex and segmented structure.

Recovery strategy

Goliat will be produced by water injection as pressure support. Associated gas will be re-injected until a possible export solution of gas through the Snøhvit pipeline to Melkøya is in place.

Transport

The oil will be loaded onto tankers and transported to the market. Possible export of gas to Melkøya is being evaluated.

Status

Production is planned to start in 2013.
